| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yay! Nodame's back! I'm loving this season just as much as I expected I will . Only sucks I can't read Japanese and know like two words in French so every time they spoke French I couldn't read the Japanese subtitles and was completely lost ._. |

mrSmiles said: btw isnt the supposed air time tomorrow that's what I also thought, but there's already a raw out~ |
| subbed version should be released sooner then, unless sub groups look for higher quality raws |
|
| just watched the raw, we are definitely off to a good start already this season |
  |
| great episode, ef op with german and now nodame with an france ED looks like a europe trip this season^^; for me its the other way, i could read the japanese but didnt understand france, especially when i had a year on school or something^^; but laughed at shana reference |

Kohei_no_kimi said: Eh eh... as I'm French, I have understood what they were saying, and it was really funny. For exemple : At the restaurent : - Chiaki ordered a "steak tartare" what is uncooked beef with another thing that I don't remember, but that didn't match at all with the steak in reality...^^" Whereas Nodame found herself with a big plate of butter perslay snails. - When Nodame were using her french dictionnary, the only thing she chose to translate was "J'ai été violé" meaning, lol, "I was rapted" and that's why the waiter was extremely chocked, thinking that Chiaki was surely the rapist ! The other time, at the dormitory, Nodame were saying that she wanted to visit Eiffel Tower, the Versailles's castel... typicals french momunents in fact... That was really really funny, especially with the japanese pronunciation. use the spoiler function next time pls...... i hope the sub gets released by tonight |
|
| OMG! Dying to see this one. Hoping C1 or Froth-Bite to subbed this soon =3 |

| |
| not a bad start. great to see Nodame and Chiaki back in action. but is this really only 11 episodes? |
 |
| Otaku stuff seemed a little jammed in there to me, though having Nodame learn french from the dub was pretty amusing. Compared to the first series, the OP/ED were kind of meh, maybe they'll grow on me. All in all, good stuff. |
 |
| Yay! Nodame is back! ^^ Great episode. The part where Nodame said she was being raped really cracked me up xD |
| great episode... lol the french otaku XD I wanto to go to Paris too ç___ç Anyway, i don't like the op song... |
   |
| I loved this, even though I knew what was about to happen from the live action. Lol at the Shana reference. xD OP and ED are both weird, but I like them. |
| OKAERI, NODAME ^_____^ aww i missed this anime so much, and it's just as great as season 1. and the subs came out on the same day it was aired too! *happy Takai* |
| this season is going to be as great as the one before, the restaurant scene was so brilliant......."call the police, i'm getting raped..." xD i hope the new characters get some more screen time,too. although up to now, they can't match mine and co. |
 Take a look at the world and laugh. -Januzs Korczak |
| Good episode, it lived up to my expectations. Nodame is just too great, learning that much French from a dubbed anime was awesome. Now that BSS has picked this up, it looks like people won't have to wait a whole year to see this. |
| what a great first episode lol frank's t-shirt, lawl omg the whole ep was hilarious |
 |
| lol the stuff about otaku is funny |
| So kyoooot. (: New OP and ED are so cute! They need to have like...a NEW YORK CHAPTER, lmfao. I want to hear these guys speak some English! :'D whatagreatshowsofar. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The ED was pure win. |
| It's so nice to see nodame back. watching her really cracks me up and now adding to this mad cap cast are tanya and frank...poor chiaki!! |
 |
| Love it! One of my favorite series ever is back, and with a vengance. Love Nodame, love Chiaki, and I'm digging the new characters too. Shame it's only going to be 11 episodes. |
| Nice episode. Seems like it will be better than the first series. :) |
 |
| Really enjoyed it, and got to see some of my favorite parts! The restaurant was just awesome, and Tanya's comment at the end. I think the entire episode was well paced and well executed. Just awesome. |
mrSmiles said: use the spoiler function next time pls...... i hope the sub gets released by tonight you shouldn't have to use a spoiler tag in an episode discussion unless you're talking about whats happned in the manga or the drama past this point. anyway, this was cute! As I thought, they're pretty much following the pacing of the drama exactly. i wish they had hept tanya and frank speaking french a little bit(like when nodame and frank had their conversation) because it was sort of hard to realize that they couldn't understand eachother till the show mentioned it. Restaurant scene was awesome, though i loved that scene in the drama (and i thought it was funnier lol) great first ep though :3 hope it stays this way~ too bad the opening is not really good :( |
| chill.......... my mistake... anyways i loved the first episode, especially when they were at the restaurant, that was hilarious, cant wait to watch next one. |
|
| Just as awesome as the first season. Except the opening/ending and lack of Mine =/ Other than that, it's good old Nodame |
     |
| Haha funny that Nodame speaks so much better than Chiaki when he's supposed to have lived in France in his youth. Honestly I can't understand him with his accent, neither can I understand the waiter (I don't speak about the TV show, I can't understand a word ;)), but Nodame is quite fine ! It's always strange to have your mother tongue spoken by foreigners with almost no knowledge about what they are saying, and especially Japanese. One of the best, if not the best anime I've seen with a decent amount of French relatively well translated is Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiki Jikenbo, which was very understandable (I was impressed by the seiyuus really...). Anyway, good introduction to the Paris-hen, there are a lot of clichés about Paris, but that was to be expected, but it was still enjoyable, and as I loved the first season, I'm pretty sure I'll love the second too ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I lol'd when Nodame saw her room and said something random in french. Great episode. Can't wait to see the rest. |
| Yah. Raging Shinichi is back!? The OP was kind :S |
| Ah, I did miss those Gyabos...=) |
     |
| !<3 love the episode the OP was ... I was expecting it to be wayyy better D: -!disappointed- lol @ shana shirt xD never expected that there would be an otaku in this series :o the restaurant part was hilarious xD "chiaki is my husband" "I got raped" xD nodame is awesome<3 and then memorizing french from that video :3 ^adorable :3 glad to see that chiaki&nodame havent changed and cant wait for the next episode |
 |
Iriya said: Ah, I did miss those Gyabos...=) And I love it when Nodame was learning French, was hilarious. |
| LOL.... French that sounds like Japanese....Must read subtitle to understand!! LOL.... I can't stop lol'ing the subtitles too... |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Yay, Nodame Cantabile is back. Great start, loved it. |
| I know it was only the first episode, and maybe it is because I already knew exactly what to expect from the live action and manga, but...this was just the most pointless episode so far, by a long shot. I expect the second season to redeem itself just fine, but this was a bad episode. |
| Elsewhere, a somewhat startled Warren Worthington III finds that he has accidentally wandered into an electrified east-side world of post-twist teens and watsui-ing teeny-boppers... |
| I love how they have a french okatu and a russian lady who is trying to get with him within the first episode. =P The new characters make me lol just a bit. It had some funny moments. This season seems like it is going to be awesome. <3 |
 |
| love the characters, kinda forgot how great this really is. but lol at the ending. kinda hard to understand, but i was impressed nonetheless. didn't sound as terrible as i imagined it would |
 |
| I think it was a lovely transition into anime. :3 I don't like the OP, but ED is good enough. I forgot there was a part Chiaki becomes a demon and tortures Tanya (The Russion Lady if you haven't caught her name yet). It was funny xD like seeing Sagara Sousuke training the football team except it's piano. 8D I'm going to be following this of course. |
| It wasnt THAT good but im glad its finally here! OP liked it ED not so much I thought the 'hand animation' was better but nope... |
 |
| So good, so good I like it well done (the way they say Japan is a super power of work) Far from us, so real. |
